Broyhill sticks to strategy RALEIGH (AP) Even if Terry Sanford were the clear leader in the U.S. Senate race, Rep. Jim Broyhill says he'd be too concerned with his own primary battle against GOP rival David Funderburk to plot strategy for dealing with the former governor. At a news conference Tuesday, Broyhill said he did not agree with political analysts who have touted Sanford as the Democratic frontrunner against a field of six opponents, none with a statewide base of support.
"I am not going to make any judgments as to who's going to win that (Democratic) primary, because I think it's going to be a wide win, primary," Broyhill Broyhill said, said. the Republican nominee must accomplish the same things regardless of who emerges victorious from the Democratic primary: unite the state GOP behind him and draw significant support from Democrats, who outnumber Republicans more than 3-to-1 in North Carolina. kind of Democrats that we're talking about are those who have supported Ronald Reagan in the past, who continue to support his policies, who continue to support what he is trying to do in Washington, and would not like to see the Senate leadership change hands," he said. The news conference was called to announce creation of a "Students for organization, which already has chapters on some 20 college and university campuses, chairman David Balmer said. The group hopes to deliver 8,000 votes for Broyhill by absentee ballot in the May 6 Republican primary, said Balmer, who engineered a similar effort on behalf of Gov.
Jim Martin in the 1984 campaign. Broyhill said he enjoyed significant support from students despite supporting the Reagan administration's proposed restrictions on government aid to In addition to putting a cap on the amount students can receive, the administration would impose tougher income qualifications and require more student "self-help," Broyhill said. "I think these are reasonable limitations, and also that they will continue to provide a great deal of support for students, to enable them to go to college," he said. Broyhill added that students to whom he had spoken understood the need for the limits as part of a wideranging effort to reduce the federal budget deficit, which he called "a time bomb" that could explode in the face of the younger generation. About 20 leaders of the Broyhill campus organizations attended the The Monday, a similar number of students many from Duke University filled the state Board of Elections office, where Sanford filed for the race.
Sanford retired as Duke president last July. Broyhill reacted coolly to Sanford's promise Tuesday to try to hold down campaign costs and use as little television advertising as possible. "One of the problems that we as Republicans have is that we do have to get our message out to an audience that does not know us as well," Broyhill said. Limits on advertising, he said, "would tend to favor those candidates that a already have built-in support or a organization in a state which in the past has been predominantly Democrat."

According to the well Standard and Poor's index of 500 stocks, stock in apparel companies ranked at the top of the list at the end of 1985, with the value of the stocks increasing 89.7 percent from their December 1984 levels. For textile mills, the record was less dramatic: At the end of December, the value of stock in textile companies included in the index was 41 percent higher than it had President sends message to Smith RALEIGH (AP) Singer Kate Smith received a get message from President Reagan Tuesday and was moved out of the intensive care unit at Raleigh Community Hospital, a family spokesman said. Miss Smith, 78, who had her right leg amputated on Sunday because of circulation problems stemming from diabetes, was listed in satisfactory condition. Her sister, Helena Smith Steene, said Miss Smith was "doing well" and seemed cheered by the telegram, which was read to her by her companion, Patricia Castledine.
In 1982, Reagan presented Miss Smith the Medal of Freedom at a private ceremony at the Raleigh Civic Center.

The unidentified woman was listed in critical condition was bad seeking work been in December 1984. That increase, however, was significantly higher than the average of the stocks measured in the index. For all 500 stocks included in the end-of-1985 index, the average increase in value was 26.3 percent. The investment news for textiles and apparel manufacturers in 1985 was rosier than the industry's overall financial picture: According to U.S. Commerce Department figures, textile and apparel employment along with the value of apparel industry shipments declined last year as the textile trade deficit widened and companies closed plants and consolidated manufacturing operations.
So why did the value of textile and apparel stocks rise so much? Business analysts cite several reasons. Among them: The industry's efforts to recover from a terrible business year in 1984, when imports rose to record levels and textile inventories backed up in warehouses, unable to find buyers. The glut of goods and decline in profits was reflected in low textile stock prices in '84. But toward the end of 1985, textile employment stopped declining, work-hours increased and new orders began to climb, George Wino, chief economist for the American Textile Manufacturers Association, said. In addition, the analysts said, a number of mergers and leveraged buyouts in 1985 helped push up the value of textile stocks.
For example, the buyout that allowed Levi Strauss to once again become a privately owned company increased the value of Levi-Strauss stock by about $20 a share, Hugh Riley said, a textile-stock analyst for Standard and Poor's. Similarly, he said, West Point Pepperell's acquisition of the Cluett Peabody apparel company increased stock prices for both companies. Riley said he expects the industry's recovery to continue in 1986, but added that he thinks textile imports which rose to a record 10.8 billion yards last year will put mroe U.S. Textile and apparel companies out of business. "There are going to be people who are not going to make it, because the imports, competition," just he drive said.
